The Cloonee Lakes

Area: Lakes, Boat Fishing
Fishing: brown trout
Levels: Fly-casting experience recommended, but not essential.

Drive west for 15 minutes along the Beara Peninsula, and you will arrive at the Lake House. There, your Ghillie will take a boat, and row you out onto the Cloonee Lakes.
The trout in these lakes will bring your learning curve up, as the take is so fast that you can’t afford to be sleeping on the job!
Wet flies are the bait for these lakes, and a quick strike is essential.
Maximum of two persons per boat and Ghillie.
